Bruckheimer is listed as a producer in the IMDb and Wikipedia listings about the film?

Thanks for the catch, @Malcolm R . I was in a hurry this morning and didn't realize how old this article was.

But when?!

I think the real question is, who gets a banana in their tailpipe this time...

The trailer looks more serious than I thought. I was expecting a less serious, comedy movie.

I thought the biggest problem with III was that it was way too serious and grim, and not nearly enough levity.

Agreed... seems more focused on the action. Hopefully the impersonations and playful tricks used by Axel in the first 2 films are revived.

I’m not necessarily concerned with it being humor-less based on that teaser. But it doesn’t look all that special either. Though, I always prefer to just watch the final product and not worry about a trailer (especially when it comes to the best jokes being spoiled in the trailer). I’m still excited for another BHC movie.

You are kidding, right? I don't remember it clearly but I always thought it was the less serious of all 3.

I’ve always found the name of the bad guy to be interesting.

I only saw it once, not that many years ago (maybe 2? 3?) and that was my impression of it. I saw it as part of the three-film blu-ray set.

At least it looks like an honest to God feature film unlike the glorified Lifetime/Hallmark production values of many of Netflix's original movies.

Is there any theme more quintessentially eighties than Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F" theme?

 

[Jonathan Perregaux]

I was expecting to see a passing of the banana to a new tailpipe. Alas, it’s the just original banana, just moldier than you remember.

Why didn't they just title this "Beverly Hills Cop AF"?

Hollywood doesn't seem to be very good at balancing action comedies these days. For example the 2nd and 3rd Bad Boys movies were considerably more serious than the first film.
